     A-E-NR 1 -G  (I)  
     or pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms thereof, useful for the prevention of inflammatory diseases such as asthma and other allergic diseases.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates generally to modulators of chemokinereceptor activity, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, andmethods of using the same as agents for treatment and prevention ofinflammatory diseases such as asthma and allergic diseases, as well asautoimmune pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines, of molecular weight 6-15kDa, that are released by a wide variety of cells to attract andactivate, among other cell types, macrophages, T and B lymphocytes,eosinophils, basophils and neutrophils (reviewed in Luster, New Eng. J.Med., 338, 436-445 (1998) and Rollins, Blood, 90, 909-928 (1997)). Thereare two major classes of chemokines, CXC and CC, depending on whetherthe first two cysteines in the amino acid sequence are separated by asingle amino acid (CXC) or are adjacent (CC). The CXC chemokines, suchas interleukin-8 (IL-8), neutrophil-activating protein-2 (NAP-2) andmelanoma growth stimulatory activity protein (MGSA) are chemotacticprimarily for neutrophils and T lymphocytes, whereas the CC chemokines,such as RANTES, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, the monocyte chemotactic proteins(MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3, MCP-4, and MCP-5) and the eotaxins (-1, -2, and-3) are chemotactic for, among other cell types, macrophages, Tlymphocytes, eosinophils, dendritic cells, and basophils. There alsoexist the chemokines lymphotactin-1, lymphotactin-2 (both C chemokines),and fractalkine (a CXXXC chemokine) that do not fall into either of themajor chemokine subfamilies.

[0003] The chemokines bind to specific cell-surface receptors belongingto the family of G-protein-coupled seven-transmembrane-domain proteins(reviewed in Horuk, Trends Pharm. Sci., 15, 159-165 (1994)) which aretermed “chemokine receptors.” On binding their cognate ligands,chemokine receptors transduce an intracellular signal through theassociated trimeric G proteins, resulting in, among other responses, arapid increase in intracellular calcium concentration, changes in cellshape, increased expression of cellular adhesion molecules,degranulation, and promotion of cell migration. There are at least tenhuman chemokine receptors that bind or respond to CC chemokines with thefollowing characteristic patterns: CCR-1 (or “CKR-1” or “CC-CKR-1”)[MIP-1α, MCP-3, MCP-4, RANTES] (Ben-Barruch, et al., Cell, 72, 415-425(1993), Luster, New Eng. J. Med., 338, 436-445 (1998)); CCR-2A andCCR-2B (or “CKR-2A”/“CKR-2B” or “CC-CKR-2A”/“CC-CKR-2B”) [MCP-1, MCP-2,MCP-3, MCP-4, MCP-5] (Charo et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 91,2752-2756 (1994), Luster, New Eng. J. Med., 338, 436-445 (1998)); CCR-3(or “CKR-3” or “CC-CKR-3”) [eotaxin-1, eotaxin-2, RANTES, MCP-3, MCP-4](Combadiere, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 270, 16491-16494 (1995), Luster,New Eng. J. Med., 338, 436-445 (1998)); CCR-4 (or “CKR-4” or “CC-CKR-4”)[TARC, MIP-1α, RANTES, MCP-1] (Power et al., J. Biol. Chem., 270,19495-19500 (1995), Luster, New Eng. J. Med., 338, 436-445 (1998));CCR-5 (or “CKR-5” OR “CC-CKR-5”) [MIP-1α, RANTES, MIP-1β] (Sanson, etal., Biochemistry, 35, 3362-3367 (1996)); CCR-6 (or “CKR-6” or“CC-CKR-6”) [LARC] (Baba et al., J. Biol. Chem., 272, 14893-14898(1997)); CCR-7 (or “CKR-7” or “CC-CKR-7”) [ELC] (Yoshie et al., J.Leukoc. Biol. 62, 634-644 (1997)); CCR-8 (or “CKR-8” or “CC-CKR-8”)[1-309, TARC, MIP-1β] (Napolitano et al., J. Immunol., 157, 2759-2763(1996), Bernardini et al., Eur. J. Immunol., 28, 582-588 (1998)); andCCR-10 (or “CKR-10” or “CC-CKR-10”) [MCP-1, MCP-3] (Bonini et al, DNAand Cell Biol., 16, 1249-1256 (1997)).

[0004] In addition to the mammalian chemokine receptors, mammaliancytomegaloviruses, herpesviruses and poxviruses have been shown toexpress, in infected cells, proteins with the binding properties ofchemokine receptors (reviewed by Wells and Schwartz, Curr. Opin.Biotech., 8, 741-748 (1997)). Human CC chemokines, such as RANTES andMCP-3, can cause rapid mobilization of calcium via these virally encodedreceptors. Receptor expression may be permissive for infection byallowing for the subversion of normal immune system surveillance andresponse to infection. Additionally, human chemokine receptors, such asCXCR⁴, CCR², CCR³, CCR⁵ and CCR⁸, can act as co-receptors for theinfection of mammalian cells by microbes as with, for example, the humanimmunodeficiency viruses (HIV).

[0005] Chemokine receptors have been implicated as being importantmediators of inflammatory, infectious, and immunoregulatory disordersand diseases, including asthma and allergic diseases, as well asautoimmune pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis.For example, the chemokine receptor CCR-3 plays a pivotal role inattracting eosinophils to sites of allergic inflammation and insubsequently activating these cells. The chemokine ligands for CCR-3induce a rapid increase in intracellular calcium concentration,increased expression of cellular adhesion molecules, cellulardegranulation, and the promotion of eosinophil migration. Accordingly,agents which modulate chemokine receptors would be useful in suchdisorders and diseases. In addition, agents which modulate chemokinereceptors would also be useful in infectious diseases such as byblocking infection of CCR³ expressing cells by HIV or in preventing themanipulation of immune cellular responses by viruses such ascytomegaloviruses.

[0006] A substantial body of art has accumulated over the past severaldecades with respect to substituted piperidines and pyrrolidines. Thesecompounds have implicated in the treatment of a variety of disorders.

[0007] WO 98/25604 describes spiro-substituted azacycles which areuseful as modulators of chemokine receptors:

[0008] wherein R₁ is C₁₋₆ alkyl, optionally substituted with functionalgroups such as —NR⁶CONHR⁷, wherein R⁶ and R⁷ may be phenyl furthersubstituted with hydroxy, alkyl, cyano, halo and haloalkyl. Such spirocompounds are not considered part of the present invention.

[0009] WO 95/13069 is directed to certain piperidine, pyrrolidine, andhexahydro-1H-azepine compounds of general formula:

[0010] wherein A may be substituted alkyl or Z-substituted alkyl, withZ=NR_(6a) or O. Compounds of this type are claimed to promote therelease of growth hormone in humans and animals.

[0011] WO 93/06108 discloses pyrrolobenzoxazine derivatives as5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) agonists and antagonists:

[0012] wherein A is lower alkylene and R⁴ may be phenyl optionallysubstituted with halogen.

[0013] U.S. Pat. No. 5,668,151 discloses Neuropeptide Y (NPY)antagonists comprising 1,4-dihydropyridines with a piperidinyl ortetrahydropyridinyl-containing moiety attached to the 3-position of the4-phenyl ring:

[0014] wherein B may be NH, NR¹, O, or a bond, and R⁷ may be substitutedphenyl, benzyl, phenethyl and the like.

[0015] These reference compounds are readily distinguished structurallyby either the nature of the urea functionality, the attachment chain, orthe possible substitution of the present invention. The prior art doesnot disclose nor suggest the unique combination of structural fragmentswhich embody these novel piperidines and pyrrolidines as having activitytoward the chemokine receptors.

Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds,and the like can also be present in the compounds described herein, andall such stable isomers are contemplated in the present invention. C isand trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present inventionare described and may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or asseparated isomeric forms. All chiral, diastereomeric, racemic forms andall geometric isomeric forms of a structure are intended, unless thespecific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated.

[0553] The term “substituted,” as used herein, means that any one ormore hydrogens on the designated atom is replaced with a selection fromthe indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valencyis not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound.When a substituent is keto (i.e., ═O), then 2 hydrogens on the atom arereplaced.

[0555] When any variable (e.g., R^(a)) occurs more than one time in anyconstituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrenceis independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, forexample, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-2 R^(a), then saidgroup may optionally be substituted with up to two R^(a) groups andR^(a) at each occurrence is selected independently from the definitionof R^(a). Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables arepermissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

[0556] When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connectingtwo atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any atom onthe ring. When a substituent is listed without indicating the atom viawhich such substituent is bonded to the rest of the compound of a givenformula, then such substituent may be bonded via any atom in suchsubstituent. Combinations of substituents and/or variables arepermissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

Synthesis

[0570] The compounds of the present invention can be prepared in anumber of ways well known to one skilled in the art of organicsynthesis. The compounds of the present invention can be synthesizedusing the methods described below, together with synthetic methods knownin the art of synthetic organic chemistry, or variations thereon asappreciated by those skilled in the art. Preferred methods include, butare not limited to, those described below. All references cited hereinare incorporated in their entirety by reference.

[0571] The novel compounds of Formula I may be prepared using thereactions and techniques described in this section. The reactions areperformed in solvents appropriate to the reagents and materials employedand are suitable for the transformations being effected. Also, in thedescription of the synthetic methods described below, it is to beunderstood that all proposed reaction conditions, including solvent,reaction atmosphere, reaction temperature, duration of the experimentand workup procedures, are chosen to be the conditions standard for thatreaction, which should be readily recognized by one skilled in the art.One skilled in the art of organic synthesis understands that thefunctionality present on various portions of the edict molecule must becompatible with the reagents and reactions proposed. Not all compoundsof Formula I falling into a given class may be compatible with some ofthe reaction conditions required in some of the methods described. Suchrestrictions to the substituents that are compatible with the reactionconditions will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art andalternate methods must be used. It will also be recognized that anothermajor consideration in the planning of any synthetic route in this fieldis the judicious choice of the protecting group used for the protectionof the reactive funtional groups present in the compounds described inthis invention. An authoritative account describing the manyalternatives to the trained practitioner is Greene and Wuts (ProtectiveGroups in Organic Chemistry, Wiley and Sons, 1991).

[0572] Compounds of Formula I, wherein R⁴ is present as defined by thescope, may be prepared by procedures depicted in Scheme 1 from compoundsof Formula I in which R⁴ is absent. It is understood that the chemistryis shown for only one A group of Formula I and that similartransformations may be preformed on other A groups. The quaternary saltsof Formula I can be synthesized by alkylation with an alkylhalide suchas methyl iodide, benzyl bromide, bromoacetate, etc. in a suitablesolvent such as THF, DMF, DMSO, etc. at room temperature to refluxtemperature of the solvent. The N-oxides of Formula I can be made by thegeneral protocols of Deady, Syn.

Alternatively, Formula II maybe reacted with an isocyanate of Formula V to provide compounds ofFormula I where G is CONHR³. Alternatively, Formula II may be reactedwith Formula IV, wherein X is a good leaving group such as but notlimited to Cl, Br, or imidazole, in the presence of a base such as, butnot limited to, triethylamine or pyridine to provide compounds ofFormula I where G is SO₂R³.

Thisprocedure essentially follows the general procedures of Hong, Y. et.al., Tet. Lett. 1997, 38, 5607 and references therein, with minormodification depending on the Formula IX which should be readilyrecognized by one skilled in the art. The reaction can be preformed inan inert solvent such as, but not limited to, toluene at roomtemperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent with a Pd-catalystsuch as Pd₂(dba)₃ and a base such as sodium t-butoxide.

The symbol P can be hydrogen or a protecting group suchas benzyl, trifluoroacetyl, etc., or E or E-Y in precursor or finalform. It to be understood that appropriate functionality may be presentin Formula A, XXI-XXV in precursor or final form and that only theparent unsubstituted molecules are shown in Scheme 12 for sake ofclarity.

[0585] Another embodiment of Formula A, the octahydroisoindoles,decahydroisoquinolines and related bicyclic systems, may be synthesizedby an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction (see for example S. F. Martin,et al., J. Org. Chem. 1983, 48, 5170-5180; Carmosin, et al., U.S. Pat.No. 5,508,424, issued Apr. 16, 1996 to Ortho Pharmaceutical Corp.) asshown in Scheme 13. It to be understood that appropriate functionalitymay be present (such as a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, forexample) in Formula A, XXVI-XXX in presursor or final form and that onlythe parent unsubstituted molecules are shown in Scheme 13 for sake ofclarity. The symbol P can be hydrogen or a protecting group such asbenzyl, trifluoroacetyl, etc., or E or E-Y in precursor or final form.

[0586] Another embodiment of Formula A, the3a-(phenylmethyl)octahydroisoindoles and other similar bicyclic andtricyclic systems may be synthesized by methods shown in Scheme 14 (seeE. Ciganek, U.S. Pat. No. 5,216,018, issued 6/1/93 to DuPont MerckPharmaceutical Co.). It is to be understood that appropriatefunctionality may be present in Formula A, XXXI-XXXIII in precursor orfinal form and that only the parent unsubstituted molecules are shown inScheme 14 for sake of clarity. Thus a cyclic anhydride of Formula XXXIwhich is commercially available or can be easily synthesized by methodsfamiliar to one skilled in the art is reacted with benzylamine to yieldimide XXXII. Deprotonation with a strong non-nucleophilic base such asLDA or KHMDS in an inert solvent such as ether or THF followed byquenching with a benzyl bromide, chloride, iodide, tosylate, mesylate,or triflate, yields a benzylated imide which can be reduced to cyclicamine XXXIII. Deprotection yields a cyclic amine of Formula A.

[0587] Another embodiment of Formula A, namely compounds containing afused cyclobutyl ring can be synthesized as depicted in Scheme 15 (seeW. Oppolzer, et al., Helv. Chim. Acta, 1976, 59, 1186-1202; G. Steiner,et al., Heterocycles, 1995, 40, 319-330; Steiner, G. et al., U.S. Pat.No. 5,475,105, issued Dec. 12, 1995 to BASF Akt.). It is to beunderstood that appropriate functionality may be present (such as asubstituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, for example) in Formula A,XXXIV-XXXVI in precursor or final form and that only the parentunsubstituted molecules are shown in Scheme 15 for sake of clarity. Thesymbol P can be hydrogen or a protecting group such as benzyl,trifluoroacetyl, or E or E-Y in precursor or final form.

Utility

[0686] The utility of the compounds in accordance with the presentinvention as modulators of chemokine receptor activity may bedemonstrated by methodology known in the art, such as the assays forCCR-2 and CCR-3 ligand binding, as disclosed by Ponath et al., J. Exp.Med., 183, 2437-2448 (1996) and Uguccioni et al., J. Clin. Invest., 100,1137-1143 (1997). Cell lines for expressing the receptor of interestinclude those naturally expressing the chemokine receptor, such as EOL-3or THP-1, those induced to express the chemokine receptor by theaddition of chemical or protein agents, such as HL-60 or AML14.3D10cells treated with, for example, butyric acid with interleukin-5present, or a cell engineered to express a recombinant chemokinereceptor, such as CHO or HEK-293. Finally, blood or tissue cells, forexample human peripheral blood eosinophils, isolated using methods asdescribed by Hansel et al., J. Immunol. Methods, 145, 105-110 (1991),can be utilized in such assays. In particular, the compound of thepresent invention have activity in binding to the CCR-3 receptor in theaforementioned assays. As used herein, “activity” is intended to mean acompound demonstrating an IC50 of 10 μM or lower in concentration whenmeasured in the aforementioned assays. Such a result is indicative ofthe intrinsic activity of the compounds as modulators of chemokinereceptor activity. A general binding protocol is described below.

CCR³-Receptor Binding Protocol

[0687] Millipore filter plates (#MABVN1250) are treated with 5 μg/mlprotamine in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2, for ten minutes at roomtemperature. Plates are washed three times with phosphate bufferedsaline and incubated with phosphate buffered saline for thirty minutesat room temperature. For binding, 50 μl of binding buffer (0.5% bovineserum albumen, 20 mM HEPES buffer and 5 mM magnesium chloride in RPMI1640 media) with or without a test concentration of a compound presentat a known concentration is combined with 50 l of 125-I labeled humaneotaxin (to give a final concentration of 150 pM radioligand) and 50 μlof cell suspension in binding buffer containing 5×10⁵ total cells. Cellsused for such binding assays can include cell lines transfected with agene expressing CCR³ such as that described by Daugherty et al. (1996),isolated human eosinophils such as described by Hansel et al. (1991) orthe AML14.3D10 cell line after differentiation with butyric acid asdescribed by Tiffany et al. (1998). The mixture of compound, cells andradioligand are incubated at room temperature for thirty minutes. Platesare placed onto a vacuum manifold, vacuum applied, and plates washedthree times with binding buffer with 0.5M NaCl added. The plastic skirtis removed from the plate, the plate allowed to air dry, the wells punchout and CPM counted. The percent inhibition of binding is calculatedusing the total count obtained in the absence of any competing compoundor chemokine ligand and the background binding determined by addition of100 nM eotaxin in place of the test compound.

[0688] The utility of the compounds in accordance with the presentinvention as inhibitors of the migration of eosinophils or cell linesexpressing the chemokine receptors may be demonstrated by methodologyknown in the art, such as the chemotaxis assay disclosed by Bacon etal., Brit. J. Pharmacol., 95, 966-974 (1988). In particular, thecompound of the present invention have activity in inhibition of themigration of eosinophils in the aforementioned assays. As used herein,“activity” is intended to mean a compound demonstrating an IC50 of 10 μMor lower in concentration when measured in the aforementioned assays.Such a result is indicative of the intrinsic activity of the compoundsas modulators of chemokine receptor activity. A human eosinophilchemotaxis assay protocol is described below.

Human Eosinophil Chemotaxis Assay

[0689] Neuroprobe MBA96 96-well chemotaxis chambers with Neuroprobepolyvinylpyrrolidone-free polycarbonate PFD5 5-micron filters in placeare warmed in a 37° C. incubator prior to assay. Freshly isolated humaneosinophils, isolated according to a method such as that described byHansel et al. (1991), are suspended in RPMI 1640 with 0.1% bovine serumalbumin at 1×10⁶ cells/ml and warmed in a 37° C. incubator prior toassay. A 20 nM solution of human eotaxin in RPMI 1640 with 0.1% bovineserum albumin is warmed in a 37° C. incubator prior to assay. Theeosinophil suspension and the 20 nM eotaxin solution are each mixed 1:1with prewarmed RPMI 1640 with 0.1% bovine serum albumin with or withouta dilution of a test compound that is at two fold the desired finalconcentration. These mixtures are warmed in a 37° C. incubator prior toassay. The filter is separated from the prewarmed Neuroprobe chemotaxischamber and the eotaxin/compound mixture is placed into a PolyfiltronicsMPC 96 well plate that has been placed in the bottom part of the NeuroProbe chemotaxis chamber. The approximate volume is 370 microliters andthere should be a positive meniscus after dispensing. The filter isreplaced above the 96 well plate, the rubber gasket is attached to thebottom of the upper chamber, and the chamber assembled. A 200 μl volumeof the cell suspension/compound mixture is added to the appropriatewells of the upper chamber. The upper chamber is covered with a platesealer, and the assembled unit placed in a 37° C. incubator for 45minutes. After incubation, the plate sealer is removed and all remainingcell suspension is aspirated off. The chamber is disassembled and, whileholding the filter by the sides at a 90-degree angle, unmigrated cellsare washed away using a gentle stream of phosphate buffered salinedispensed from a squirt bottle and then the filter wiped with a rubbertipped squeegee. The filter is allowed to completely dry and immersedcompletely in Wright Giemsa stain for 30-45 seconds. The filter isrinsed with distilled water for 7 minutes, rinsed once with waterbriefly, and allowed to dry. Migrated cells are enumerated bymicroscopy.

[0690] Mammalian chemokine receptors provide a target for interferingwith or promoting immune cell function in a mammal, such as a human.Compounds that inhibit or promote chemokine receptor function areparticularly useful for modulating immune cell function for therapeuticpurposes. Accordingly, the present invention is directed to compoundswhich are useful in the prevention and/or treatment of a wide variety ofinflammatory, infectious, and immunoregulatory disorders and diseases,including asthma and allergic diseases, infection by pathogenic microbes(which, by definition, includes viruses), as well as autoimmunepathologies such as the rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis.

[0691] For example, an instant compound which inhibits one or morefunctions of a mammalian chemokine receptor (e.g., a human chemokinereceptor) may be administered to inhibit (i.e., reduce or prevent)inflammation or infectious disease. As a result, one or moreinflammatory process, such as leukocyte emigration, adhesion,chemotaxis, exocytosis (e.g., of enzymes, histamine) or inflammatorymediator release, is inhibited. For example, eosinophilic infiltrationto inflammatory sites (e.g., in asthma or allergic rhinitis) can beinhibited according to the present method. In particular, the compoundof the following examples has activity in blocking the migration ofcells expressing the CCR-3 receptor using the appropriate chemokines inthe aforementioned assays. As used herein, “activity” is intended tomean a compound demonstrating an IC50 of 10 μM or lower in concentrationwhen measured in the aforementioned assays. Such a result is alsoindicative of the intrinsic activity of the compounds as modulators ofchemokine receptor activity.

[0692] Similarly, an instant compound which promotes one or morefunctions of the mammalian chemokine receptor (e.g., a human chemokine)as administered to stimulate (induce or enhance) an immune orinflammatory response, such as leukocyte emigration, adhesion,chemotaxis, exocytosis (e.g., of enzymes, histamine) or inflammatorymediator release, resulting in the beneficial stimulation ofinflammatory processes. For example, eosinophils can be recruited tocombat parasitic infections. In addition, treatment of theaforementioned inflammatory, allergic and autoimmune diseases can alsobe contemplated for an instant compound which promotes one or morefunctions of the mammalian chemokine receptor if one contemplates thedelivery of sufficient compound to cause the loss of receptor expressionon cells through the induction of chemokine receptor internalization orthe delivery of compound in a manner that results in the misdirection ofthe migration of cells.

[0693] In addition to primates, such as humans, a variety of othermammals can be treated according to the method of the present invention.For instance, mammals, including but not limited to, cows, sheep, goats,horses, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats or other bovine, ovine, equine,canine, feline, rodent or murine species can be treated. However, themethod can also be practiced in other species, such as avian species.The subject treated in the methods above is a mammal, male or female, inwhom modulation of chemokine receptor activity is desired. “Modulation”as used herein is intended to encompass antagonism, agonism, partialantagonism and/or partial agonism.

[0694] Diseases or conditions of human or other species which can betreated with inhibitors of chemokine receptor function, include, but arenot limited to: inflammatory or allergic diseases and conditions,including respiratory allergic diseases such as asthma, allergicrhinitis, hypersensitivity lung diseases, hypersensitivity pneumonitis,eosinophilic cellulitis (e.g., Well's syndrome), eosinophilic pneumonias(e.g., Loeffler's syndrome, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia),eosinophilic fasciitis (e.g., Shulman's syndrome), delayed-typehypersensitivity, interstitial lung diseases (ILD) (e.g., idiopathicpulmonary fibrosis, or ILD associated with rheumatoid arthritis,systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, systemicsclerosis, Sjogren's syndrome, polymyositis or dermatomyositis);systemic anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity responses, drug allergies(e.g., to penicillin, cephalosporins), eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome dueto the ingestion of contaminated tryptophan, insect sting allergies;autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis,multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis,juvenile onset diabetes; glomerulonephritis, autoimmune thyroiditis,Behcet's disease; graft rejection (e.g., in transplantation), includingallograft rejection or graft-versus-host disease; inflammatory boweldiseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis;spondyloarthropathies; scleroderma; psoriasis (including T-cell mediatedpsoriasis) and inflammatory dermatoses such as an dermatitis, eczema,atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, urticaria; vasculitis(e.g., necrotizing, cutaneous, and hypersensitivity vasculitis);eosinophilic myositis, eosinophilic fasciitis; cancers with leukocyteinfiltration of the skin or organs. Other diseases or conditions inwhich undesirable inflammatory responses are to be inhibited can betreated, including, but not limited to, reperfusion injury,atherosclerosis, certain hematologic malignancies, cytokine-inducedtoxicity (e.g., septic shock, endotoxic shock), polymyositis,dermatomyositis. Infectious diseases or conditions of human or otherspecies which can be treated with inhibitors of chemokine receptorfunction, include, but are not limited to, HIV.

[0695] Diseases or conditions of humans or other species which can betreated with promoters of chemokine receptor function, include, but arenot limited to: immunosuppression, such as that in individuals withimmunodeficiency syndromes such as AIDS or other viral infections,individuals undergoing radiation therapy, chemotherapy, therapy forautoimmune disease or drug therapy (e.g., corticosteroid therapy), whichcauses immunosuppression; immunosuppression due to congenital deficiencyin receptor function or other causes; and infections diseases, such asparasitic diseases, including, but not limited to helminth infections,such as nematodes (round worms); (Trichuriasis, Enterobiasis,Ascariasis, Hookworm, Strongyloidiasis, Trichinosis, filariasis);trematodes (flukes) (Schistosomiasis, Clonorchiasis), cestodes (tapeworms) (Echinococcosis, Taeniasis saginata, Cysticercosis); visceralworms, visceral larva migraines (e.g., Toxocara), eosinophilicgastroenteritis (e.g., Anisaki sp., Phocanema sp.), cutaneous larvamigraines (Ancylostona braziliense, Ancylostoma caninum). The compoundsof the present invention are accordingly useful in the prevention andtreatment of a wide variety of inflammatory, infectious andimmunoregulatory disorders and diseases. In addition, treatment of theaforementioned inflammatory, allergic and autoimmune diseases can alsobe contemplated for promoters of chemokine receptor function if onecontemplates the delivery of sufficient compound to cause the loss ofreceptor expression on cells through the induction of chemokine receptorinternalization or delivery of compound in a manner that results in themisdirection of the migration of cells.

[0696] In another aspect, the instant invention may be used to evaluatethe putative specific agonists or antagonists of a G protein coupledreceptor. The present invention is directed to the use of thesecompounds in the preparation and execution of screening assays forcompounds that modulate the activity of chemokine receptors.Furthermore, the compounds of this invention are useful in establishingor determining the binding site of other compounds to chemokinereceptors, e.g., by competitive inhibition or as a reference in an assayto compare its known activity to a compound with an unknown activity.When developing new assays or protocols, compounds according to thepresent invention could be used to test their effectiveness.Specifically, such compounds may be provided in a commercial kit, forexample, for use in pharmaceutical research involving the aforementioneddiseases. The compounds of the instant invention are also useful for theevaluation of putative specific modulators of the chemokine receptors.In addition, one could utilize compounds of this invention to examinethe specificity of G protein coupled receptors that are not thought tobe chemokine receptors, either by serving as examples of compounds whichdo not bind or as structural variants of compounds active on thesereceptors which may help define specific sites of interaction.

[0697] Combined therapy to prevent and treat inflammatory, infectiousand immunoregulatory disorders and diseases, including asthma andallergic diseases, as well as autoimmune pathologies such as rheumatoidarthritis and atherosclerosis, and those pathologies noted above isillustrated by the combination of the compounds of this invention andother compounds which are known for such utilities.

The weight ratio of the compound of thepresent invention to the second active ingredient may be varied and willdepend upon the effective doses of each ingredient. Generally, aneffective dose of each will be used. Thus, for example, when a compoundof the present invention is combined with an NSAID the weight ratio ofthe compound of the present invention to the NSAID will generally rangefrom about 1000:1 to about 1:1000, preferably about 200:1 to about1:200. Combinations of a compound of the present invention and otheractive ingredients will generally also be within the aforementionedrange, but in each case, an effective dose of each active ingredientshould be used.

[0698] The compounds are administered to a mammal in a therapeuticallyeffective amount. By “therapeutically effective amount” it is meant anamount of a compound of Formula I that, when administered alone or incombination with an additional therapeutic agent to a mammal, iseffective to prevent or ameliorate the thromboembolic disease conditionor the progression of the disease.

Dosage and Formulation

[0699] The compounds of this invention can be administered in such oraldosage forms as tablets, capsules (each of which includes sustainedrelease or timed release formulations), pills, powders, granules,elixirs, tinctures, suspensions, syrups, and emulsions. They may also beadministered in intravenous (bolus or infusion), intraperitoneal,subcutaneous, or intramuscular form, all using dosage forms well knownto those of ordinary skill in the pharmaceutical arts. They can beadministered alone, but generally will be administered with apharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route ofadministration and standard pharmaceutical practice.

[0700] The dosage regimen for the compounds of the present inventionwill, of course, vary depending upon known factors, such as thepharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent and its mode androute of administration; the species, age, sex, health, medicalcondition, and weight of the recipient; the nature and extent of thesymptoms; the kind of concurrent treatment; the frequency of treatment;the route of administration, the renal and hepatic function of thepatient, and the effect desired. A physician or veterinarian candetermine and prescribe the effective amount of the drug required toprevent, counter, or arrest the progress of the thromboembolic disorder.

[0701] By way of general guidance, the daily oral dosage of each activeingredient, when used for the indicated effects, will range betweenabout 0.001 to 1000 mg/kg of body weight, preferably between about 0.01to 100 mg/kg of body weight per day, and most preferably between about1.0 to 20 mg/kg/day. Intravenously, the most preferred doses will rangefrom about 1 to about 10 mg/kg/minute during a constant rate infusion.Compounds of this invention may be administered in a single daily dose,or the total daily dosage may be administered in divided doses of two,three, or four times daily.

[0702] Compounds of this invention can be administered in intranasalform via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermalroutes, using transdermal skin patches. When administered in the form ofa transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, ofcourse, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosageregimen.

[0703] The compounds are typically administered in admixture withsuitable pharmaceutical diluents, excipients, or carriers (collectivelyreferred to herein as pharmaceutical carriers) suitably selected withrespect to the intended form of administration, that is, oral tablets,capsules, elixirs, syrups and the like, and consistent with conventionalpharmaceutical practices.

[0704] For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet orcapsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral,non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable, inert carrier such as lactose,starch, sucrose, glucose, methyl callulose, magnesium stearate,dicalcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, mannitol, sorbitol and the like;for oral administration in liquid form, the oral drug components can becombined with any oral, non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable inertcarrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Moreover, whendesired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegratingagents, and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture.Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucoseor beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such asacacia, tragacanth, or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose,polyethylene glycol, waxes, and the like. Lubricants used in thesedosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate,sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and the like.Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose,agar, bentonite, xanthan gum, and the like.

[0705] The compounds of the present invention can also be administeredin the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellarvesicles, large unilamellar vesicles, and multilamellar vesicles.Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such ascholesterol, stearylamine, or phosphatidylcholines.

[0706] Compounds of the present invention may also be coupled withsoluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can includepolyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer,polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamide-phenol,polyhydroxyethylaspartamidephenol, or polyethyleneoxide-polylysinesubstituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds of thepresent invention may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymersuseful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for example,polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, copolymers of polylactic andpolyglycolic acid, polyepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid,polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacylates, andcrosslinked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.

[0707] Dosage forms (pharmaceutical compositions) suitable foradministration may contain from about 1 milligram to about 100milligrams of active ingredient per dosage unit. In these pharmaceuticalcompositions the active ingredient will ordinarily be present in anamount of about 0.5-95% by weight based on the total weight of thecomposition.

[0708] Gelatin capsules may contain the active ingredient and powderedcarriers, such as lactose, starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesiumstearate, stearic acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used tomake compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be manufacturedas sustained release products to provide for continuous release ofmedication over a period of hours. Compressed tablets can be sugarcoated or film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect thetablet from the atmosphere, or enteric coated for selectivedisintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.

[0709] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can contain coloringand flavoring to increase patient acceptance.

[0710] In general, water, a suitable oil, saline, aqueous dextrose(glucose), and related sugar solutions and glycols such as propyleneglycol or polyethylene glycols are suitable carriers for parenteralsolutions. Solutions for parenteral administration preferably contain awater soluble salt of the active ingredient, suitable stabilizingagents, and if necessary, buffer substances. Antioxidizing agents suchas sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone orcombined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used are citric acid andits salts and sodium EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can containpreservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propyl-paraben,and chlorobutanol.

[0711] Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington'sPharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, a standard referencetext in this field.

[0712] Representative useful pharmaceutical dosage-forms foradministration of the compounds of this invention can be illustrated asfollows:

[0713] Capsules

[0714] A large number of unit capsules can be prepared by fillingstandard two-piece hard gelatin capsules each with 100 milligrams ofpowdered active ingredient, 150 milligrams of lactose, 50 milligrams ofcellulose, and 6 milligrams magnesium stearate.

[0715] Soft Gelatin Capsules

[0716] A mixture of active ingredient in a digestable oil such assoybean oil, cottonseed oil or olive oil may be prepared and injected bymeans of a positive displacement pump into gelatin to form soft gelatincapsules containing 100 milligrams of the active ingredient. Thecapsules should be washed and dried.

[0717] Tablets

[0718] Tablets may be prepared by conventional procedures so that thedosage unit is 100 milligrams of active ingredient, 0.2 milligrams ofcolloidal silicon dioxide, 5 milligrams of magnesium stearate, 275milligrams of microcrystalline cellulose, 11 milligrams of starch and98.8 milligrams of lactose. Appropriate coatings may be applied toincrease palatability or delay absorption.

[0719] Injectable

[0720] A parenteral composition suitable for administration by injectionmay be prepared by stirring 1.5% by weight of active ingredient in 10%by volume propylene glycol and water. The solution should be madeisotonic with sodium chloride and sterilized.

[0721] Suspension

[0722] An aqueous suspension can be prepared for oral administration sothat each 5 mL contain 100 mg of finely divided active ingredient, 200mg of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, 5 mg of sodium benzoate, 1.0 g ofsorbitol solution, U.S.P., and 0.025 mL of vanillin.

[0723] Where the compounds of this invention are combined with otheranticoagulant agents, for example, a daily dosage may be about 0.1 to100 milligrams of the compound of Formula I and about 1 to 7.5milligrams of the second anticoagulant, per kilogram of patient bodyweight. For a tablet dosage form, the compounds of this inventiongenerally may be present in an amount of about 5 to 10 milligrams perdosage unit, and the second anti-coagulant in an amount of about 1 to 5milligrams per dosage unit.

[0724] Where two or more of the foregoing second therapeutic agents areadministered with the compound of Formula I, generally the amount ofeach component in a typical daily dosage and typical dosage form may bereduced relative to the usual dosage of the agent when administeredalone, in view of the additive or synergistic effect of the therapeuticagents when administered in combination.

[0725] Particularly when provided as a single dosage unit, the potentialexists for a chemical interaction between the combined activeingredients. For this reason, when the compound of Formula I and asecond therapeutic agent are combined in a single dosage unit they areformulated such that although the active ingredients are combined in asingle dosage unit, the physical contact between the active ingredientsis minimized (that is, reduced). For example, one active ingredient maybe enteric coated. By enteric coating one of the active ingredients, itis possible not only to minimize the contact between the combined activeingredients, but also, it is possible to control the release of one ofthese components in the gastrointestinal tract such that one of thesecomponents is not released in the stomach but rather is released in theintestines. One of the active ingredients may also be coated with amaterial which effects a sustained-release throughout thegastrointestinal tract and also serves to minimize physical contactbetween the combined active ingredients. Furthermore, thesustained-released component can be additionally enteric coated suchthat the release of this component occurs only in the intestine. Stillanother approach would involve the formulation of a combination productin which the one component is coated with a sustained and/or entericrelease polymer, and the other component is also coated with a polymersuch as a low-viscosity grade of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) orother appropriate materials as known in the art, in order to furtherseparate the active components. The polymer coating serves to form anadditional barrier to interaction with the other component.

[0726] These as well as other ways of minimizing contact between thecomponents of combination products of the present invention, whetheradministered in a single dosage form or administered in separate formsbut at the same time by the same manner, will be readily apparent tothose skilled in the art, once armed with the present disclosure.

[0727] Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the presentinvention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is thereforeto be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, theinvention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically describedherein.
